In this episode of A Mixed Executive Perspective, Grace Fooden-Correy explores why mixed-race celebrities, athletes, and politicians are often publicly recognized, while mixed-race executives and business professionals remain far less visible.

Grace reflects on corporate assimilation, workplace safety, leadership, belonging, and the pressure mixed professionals can feel hiding parts of their identity in order to advance. She also looks at how younger mixed-race communities are using social media to talk openly about hair, identity, culture, and the questions they still face.

This episode challenges corporate culture to make room for difference, not just tolerate sameness.
